New Ordering Guide for US with updated Dec Options?

Does anyone know if the newly announced options (M Seats/DHP on 40i/etc) have been confirmed for US availability starting with Dec builds? If so, when should we see the new order guides?

I just checked and there have been changes to the ordering guide yet.

Where did you see that announcement? That's exciting as it seems many were unhappy with lack of DHP option on 40i.

Hopefully will be available in Canada as well as I am likely ordering around then. Curious as to why it wasn't on order guide with an SOP note - either they forgot or knew it cause some to hold off

BMW did an announcement last month, here is a thread regarding it.

Just wanted to post an update on this, spoke with my client advisor, who spoke with his regional rep, as well as a source within BMW, and looks as though the DHP on the 40i is a no go until at least the new model year changeover. Sounds like that release was not for the North American market. Not sure about the seats but disappointed in the lack of availability of the upgraded suspension on the 40i, at least for now.

Thanks for the update. That's a shame. I will confirm with my dealer as well (Canada) and let you know if I hear different.

Curious as to whether the lack of DHP has been a dealbreaker for some looking at the 40i. I have driven my father's 2019 40i and a demo 2019 x3 m40i and both handled beautifully on city roads and highway.

I personally think DHP is a must have; no DHP in an 40i, no 40i in my searches. I think the engine is capable enough, I want my SUV to have all the suspension help it can get.
Also, I have rear wheel steering in my 911 and it's fan-f'ing-tastic, I'm a big fan.

I've been thinking about this disappointing news all day...can F85Matt or PeterKBMW confirm that the 40i cannot be equipped with Dynamic Handling Package starting with Dec builds???

I could have misread the press release but those options were not intended to be released in the US in December. It seems that was aimed at the European market since it mentions some options as new that have been available in the US since last year as well as the diesel which is not available here.

Yeah, that was part of the reply I got from my source within BMW. The wording of the release and the other options mentioned are specific to markets outside the US, so doesn't look like it pertains to our market. Bummer indeed.
